Joy Online Manual

NAME
mainInterp - Main interpreter

SYNOPSIS

mainInterp

DESCRIPTION
The Joy JavaScript framework includes an Objective-C class ITKJSInterp that wraps the functionality of the JavaScript C API in an Objective-C class. Its most important method is eval: which evaluates  its argument as JavaScript code and returns the result.

The global variable mainInterp points to the ITKJSInterp instance that represents the main interpreter.  That is the first JavaScript interpreter created by the application, e.g. in the start-up code of a Joy application or when loading the Joy palette into InterfaceBuilder.  You cannot release the main interpreter.

EXAMPLE

js> mainInterp
(ITKJSInterp *)0x2385f4
